Support Conjuror Video

Kitsuni · 11-02-2011, 03:40 AM

I realize that alot of Conjurors don't bother to make videos, so while the gameplay of Marksman, Hunters, etc. are well known, not many people really understand what the Conjuror has to do during a fight. So I made a short little video demonstrating the basic gameplay of a Conjuror.

This video isn't to show off, I know I am quite rubbish at the class as I only play it rarely, so its just to hopefully help some people understand some things about the Conjuror that different from other classes. I think that many things, like global cooldowns, can only be understood by seeing them in action.

I would also like to encourage other Conjs (not Warjus) to make more videos, as it is rare to see them for non-PvP classes.

Maybe we can encourage more understanding and less hate for our white mages. ^^

+1,

Enjoyed the video very much, nice change for once and gj on the conjuring.

i was actually planning to do one in the near future (though a follow type video,) so i guess i better get back on it.

Nice to see a conju video too.

I wander to make one too, but i have to play a little with GLC to see how things happen. I never worked with video editing tools too, so if anyone knows some good ones for linux please advise.

Strange to see that you was left unharmed whole battle - no focused fire on you at all. When i fight against Alsius or Ignis usually pressure against me is way bigger. I noticed you do not have Insightfull, so it takes longer for you to recast Devotion. Still very very strange, that noyone tries to kill you...

I was thinking the same )) Maybe was invisible for others?

As of hate and other stuff from others - there is easy, but rather painful cure. Stop caring for them. I do this sometimes when i'm pretty annoyed from someone who is pretty demanding or suicidal.

If other do not care for you - you stop to care for them.

You can use avidemux to edit and compress your videos. You can also use ffmpeg to record if GLC won't work properly.

Most soundcards don't do loopback in Linux though, so if you want audio you have to split the line out back into your line in and speakers.

Nice video for a change. Shows how stressful this class can be (and yet there wasn't so much pressure)

No need. GLC automatically grabs the audio output of the application you're recording (and only the app's stream, not the others apps).

If GLC doesn't work however, if you are using pulseaudio sound server it's very easy to pipe the app's sound stream to a file.
Else with plain ALSA just record the "Stereo Mix", but it'll record the desktop sounds too...

Snyder was eating all the pressure, but I had his back.

I've never had Stereo Mix available in ALSA mixers on any hardware over the years, only line in and mic.

I also use ffmpeg to capture since I don't like all the steps required to get a decent video out of GLC with its custom format. Most of the examples I've seen involve crosscoding directly to MPEG4 or some other format that introduces artifacts before you even begin editing it, and lossless conversions are too slow.

That's why I prefer something that outputs a lossless, editable, compatible source video to begin with.

Code:

ffmpeg -f x11grab -r 25 -s 1680x1050 -i :0.0+0,0 -vcodec libx264
-vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 5 video.mkv

I have a beastly machine though, it probably won't work so well on slower computers.
